Saw something unrelated to my shoulder xray that could have been REALLY BAD so she sent me to get a chest Xray JUST TO BE SURE!!!! Turns out it was nothing but if it had turned out to be bad she would’ve saved my life!!!! Oh and by the way she treated my shoulder and it feels great!!!!

Dr Baxter is a professional! Especially with her patients. She explains things clearly and truly listens to how I feel. I'm very comfortable in my visits with her and staff. I trust her decisions on care.
